Chapter 5

Since making the deal with Arnold Helga couldn't afford to talk to Arnold for very long before she called him a name or came up with a smart remark. The last couple of hours in the trailer with Arnold have been hard. Arnold of course finding this funny tried to talk to Helga every chance he got.

"So Helga how have you been? It's been so long since we actually had a chance to talk, wasn't much of at Conversation at the coffee shop the other day." Arnold looked at Helga for a response.

"Well Arnold it's been okay I guess, working at the coffee shop is great I love it there. Expect for the people that come in some men are such pigs." Helga smiled to herself a little. "I'm surprised they haven't fired me for all the guys I punch, more then half deserve it though. "

"I can see you haven't changed much have you Helga?" Arnold liked the fact that Helga hasn't changed, it reminded him of the old days with Helga. He didn't enjoy them much but it did ring back memory's.

"Is that a bad thing fo... Fo... Foaming...hehehe" Arnold looked at her and smile wickedly. Helga just looked down and scowled.

"What about you Arnold, what have you been doing with your life?" Helga looked back up and tried to put a smile on, it didn't look very nice but it worked.

"I have been working in the library, I love it there. Everybody is so nice, kind you never know who will show up. I see our friends there all the time reading studying. You would never guess Harold would be there but he sure is... A lot." Arnold looked at Helga, "do you ever see any of our old friends anymore? Like Ronda, Sid, stinky, or Lila?"

Helga cringed at the name Lila, sure Arnold and Lila dated a little in high school but that was a short story. Helga didn't just like Lila because she dated Arnold, she used Arnold to get to Arnie. How can Helga forgive Lila after hurting Arnold so bad. At the time Helga really wanted to comfort Arnold, but she didn't want to revile her secret, so Instead Ronda comfort him.

"No I don't really keep in touch with anybody but Phoebe and Gerald. I've been busy working and not trying to get kicked out of the house. As I can see you keep in touch with everyone still?" Helga rose an eyebrow at Arnold waiting for him to respond.

"Not really only really Gerald and phoebe too."Arnold looked at Helga and smiled. Helga smiled back. The trailer stopped moving almost instantly.

"Finally it stopped!" Helga jumped off the couch and headed toward the door, Arnold did the same. They both saw Gerald and yelled at him.

" Get us out if here Gerald! " Helga yelled at Gerald.

"Okay, okay just don't get mad at me or punch me or anything. This face is to god damn gorgeous." Gerald slowly turned the key to the trailer door to let them out, once opening the door he bolted away from it as fast as he could.

"Oh Gerald there not going to hurt you." Phoebe giggled and headed towards the trailer door. Helga walked out of the trailer to stretched her legs, Arnold did the same.

"Okay phoebe you have a lot of explaining to do. Where are we first of all? How long have we been driving? How much farther do we need to travel? Where are we sleeping?"

" Helga! Hold on we will tell you when we are eating. We stopped to get some lunch. Now speaking of lunch I'm starving lets go eat." Phoebe walked to the little restaurant that looks like a house. "Gerald are you coming" she yelled at Gerald who was hiding behind a tree.

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming." Gerald slowly came from the tree and walked with everyone in the restaurant.

In the restaurant they waited to be seated.

"Hello! My name is Jenny and I will be your waiter please come with me."
The little black haired waiter led the way to a booth that had red seats with a brown wood table. "Can I get you couples anything to drink? "As Helga was about to say me and Arnold wasn't a couple phoebe said

"Yahoo sodas please for everyone."

"Coming right up." When Jenny left Helga still tried to get a word in but was cut off by Gerald.

"So before you start asking any questions we would like to say that we had very good intentions" Gerald put and arm around phoebe and phoebe cuddled next to Gerald side. "Go ahead and ask away."

"Okay first of all why did you two lie to us about only being the three of us when Helga was here also? I wouldn't have minded if Helga was here." Arnold looked at Phoebe and Gerald.

"You see my man we wanted to have one last vacation with my best friend. Phoebe wanted to have a last vacation with her best friend as well. Considering that you two don't get along very well we decided to make it a surprise. We're not getting any younger you know." Arnold was satisfied with the answer but Helga looked at Phoebe and was not to happy. Knowing that Phoebe knows that Helga is in love with the man she's sitting beside.

"I'm sorry..." Phoebe whispered to Helga. She couldn't be mad for long Phoebe was her best friend.

"Okay next question. Where are we? And how long have we been on the road?" Helga was inpatient ad wanted answers.

"Well Helga we left Hillwood about 10:40ish so we been on the road for about 3 hours now. We are also about 2-3 days away from reaching our destination. So pretty much saying we are in Air-sail. A small town for pit stops." Helga looked at her phone. it was about 1:50.

"Okay well that makes since where is our next stop from here?" Arnold sat up and looked at Gerald.

"Our next stop after this one is the hotel we are staying at. It's going to be sweet man, has a bar with a dance floor, and amazing hotel rooms. I already booked them before we left." Gerald looked very proud of himself for making such arrangements. "It's about 4 hours away from here so if we leave about 3ish we will get there about 7. Have dinner then hit the bar." Helga liked the sound of that.

"Just what I needed to relax and party!" Helga was pumped for the bar.

"Hi guys here's your drinks an I get you something to eat?" Jenny asked the twenty year old's what to eat then left with there orders.

Once lunch was done, they payed the bill and went back to the jeep and trailer.

"So do you two want to ride with us? Or have some more alone time in the trailer?" Gerald was jingling his keys on his fingers waiting for a response.

"As if I want to spend another minute with Arnoldo over here." Helga said with a disgusted sound coming for her lips.

"Helga... " Helga turned sound to smile at Helga "you just screwed up."Helga looked at him and just remembered their deal.

"SHIT." Helga cursed as she owed Arnold and answer to whatever he wanted to ask her.

"Okay Arnold, what's your question?" Helga looked at Arnold for a response.

"I will ask it a little later Helga. I got think of a good one I can ask you." As Arnold walked in front of her,she couldn't help but look at his butt.

'Man how can he have such a nice body and not even know it.'Helga's eyes where attached to Arnold, just as Phoebe had notice Helga looking she giggled.

"You know Helga, you shouldn't be looking there. Someone might catch you." Helga shook her head and blushed a bright red.

"Shhh Phoebe! He might hear you!" Helga was looking at Arnold again to make sure he didn't hear.

"Haha okay Helga."

"Yo ladies! Come on! We are on a tight Schedule here!" Gerald yelled at them from his jeep.

"We better get a move on until he takes off with out us hey Phoebe." Helga said as she ran to the jeep. "Come one Phoebe!"

"Coming" Phoebe said as she jogged to the jeep.
